What is the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers?

The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, identifies teenagers with exceptional artistic and literary talent and brings their remarkable work to a national audience through The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. The Alliance provides recognition, exhibition and publication opportunities, and scholarships. Each year, the Alliance partners with more than 100 Regional Programs across the country to bring the program to local communities. Teens in grades 7 through 12 can apply in 28 categories of art and writing for the chance to earn scholarships and have their works exhibited or published.
